Prognosis for cancers
When diagnosed with cancer, doctors may provide a patient with a prognosis, an estimate or how the cancer will progress and how well it will respond to treatment. Prognoses account for many factors, including demographic variables like the patient's age and comorbidities, and clinical characteristics of the cancer, like the type, stage, grade, and expression of known treatment targets. Prognoses are based on prior biomedical research and outcome data.
